Capítulo 103: Chapter 103: A Daring Gamble, Life-or-Death Sniping of the Tiger Bug!
The emergence of the Tiger Bugs quickly made Lin Feng realize the urgency of the insect horde's push. Every day they delayed allowed Jin City's evacuation to progress, eventually leaving them with two vast, useless concrete jungles, even if they conquered two cities days later.
Lin Feng wasn't surprised by the Tiger Bug's appearance. With the Black Spinal Bug army unable to breach human fortresses, the Queen had no choice but to deploy the rare Tier 2 insects to seek breakthroughs.
Three Tiger Bugs now peeked from a massive sinkhole two kilometers away. They moved cautiously, staying at the edge of human visibility. Even their ten-meter-tall frames were mere dots at such a distance, requiring high magnification for clear observation.
Lin Feng contemplated the insects' behavior. Were they intimidating the defenders or luring humans into open combat? He leaned towards intimidation, knowing that humans in the open, despite armored vehicles, were vulnerable to the Tiger Bugs' crushing force.
The seven-centimeter-thick iron door behind the outpost was unlikely to withstand more than three blows from their mighty jaws. Had the Tiger Bugs led last night's assault, the 201st Company would have faced severe casualties, and several main forts might have fallen with significant losses.
The insects missed their best chance to strike. Night would bring more experienced human defenses, but Lin Feng couldn't wait until then. As the distant Tiger Bugs loomed, his urge to act intensified.
Still, Lin Feng knew he needed rest after a night of combat before facing the Tiger Bugs. Like the soldiers, he needed to be well-rested for the night's battles.
Instructing Li Ran and Shen Jie to monitor for any Tier 2 insect approach, Lin Feng settled in for sleep, reminding them:
"If they come within two kilometers, alert me immediately. Don't let the Tiger Bugs near the fortress."
"Their jaws can breach walls, tear through the shooting layer, and even leap inside."
Li Ran and Shen Jie nodded solemnly, aware of their inability to handle such threats. Only the sergeant major with his super bullet ability could effectively counter them.
The relief from their recent victory was short-lived with the Tiger Bugs' arrival, casting a heavy shadow over the outpost and the main defense line.
Lin Feng slept until 2 PM, undisturbed. Upon waking and freshening up, he learned from Chen Yanyan that the Tiger Bugs remained two kilometers away, inactive. There were no signs of Red Beetles widening tunnels for a subterranean assault.
Eating his meal, Lin Feng pondered their odd behavior. Were they merely meant to intimidate, preventing the defenders from resting? Such tactics were ineffective against him, armed with his Lv20 Flying Tiger Armor, he feared no Tiger Bug.
Estimating the Tiger Bug's size and strength, Lin Feng figured them to be early Tier 2. He planned a preemptive strike before nightfall, taking advantage of daylight for precise aim and avoiding nighttime disadvantages.
With daylight, he could eliminate the Tiger Bugs and upgrade himself and his weaponry, ensuring readiness for the night's defense. Lin Feng shared his plan with Chen Yanyan, who, after initial concern, agreed to assist.
She would monitor the skies with the Lv19 Flying Wing Vehicle, alerting Lin Feng to any airborne threats, particularly the advanced Wind Wing Bugs, capable of combat jet speeds.
These insects, though primarily high-altitude threats, posed risks if they targeted low-flying Lin Feng. Chen Yanyan's early warnings were crucial for his safety.
Preparing thoroughly, Lin Feng activated his Flying Tiger Armor, enabling flight mode. His wings unfolded, creating a powerful updraft that lifted him skyward.
In seconds, Lin Feng streaked over the outpost, heading for the battlefield.
Within 15 seconds, he was 500 meters from the Tiger Bugs' emergence point. This range allowed him to aim at their vulnerable points with precision.
Concealed behind a mound, Lin Feng readied his Lv19 grenade launcher, activating his Death's Eye ability.
As Red and Black Spinal Bugs detected his scent, they hesitated under the Tiger Bug's aura, retreating into their burrows.
Soon, a Tiger Bug, drawn by a Blue Wing Bug's movement, emerged halfway, scanning the area.
"Tiger Bug, Lv23/29
Health: 350, Constitution: 350, Spirit: 35
A mid-tier insect, evolved from the Black Spinal Bug, with formidable physical capabilities and a powerful bite force ranging from tens to over a hundred tons. Moves at nearly 100 km/h. An insect siege master.
Note: Its jaws can be used as orange-quality material for fusion upgrades."
Lin Feng glanced at its health, then decisively aimed for its eyes and fired!
A flash ignited, the shell leaving a fiery trail before exploding at the burrow's entrance, a massive fireball erupting.
A message appeared:
"Successfully killed a Lv23 Tier 2 insect.
Lv19 grenade launcher upgrade conditions met.
Proceed with upgrade?"
Lin Feng smiled, ready to confirm, but the moment vanished as he leaped back! The ground collapsed, revealing a Tiger Bug's massive jaws!
The battle was intense, but today Lin Feng achieved his goal!
